storytelling with gracie belle

one of the things i never want to forget about gracie belle at
this age is her ability to storytell.
between her expressions and her clever imagination we are entertained
daily. we decided to have gracie talk
to us about her pretend fly, francie, who is known for getting into trouble and causing mischief. i snapped pictures while she chatted- because the story is one thing, but capturing the picture with it makes it perfect. we'll be able to relive this moment forever.

(how did you meet francie?)

at target, in portland, there was a mean fly and a nice fly
on the table. and when we went to the
car the nice fly followed me.

(how did the fly get home with us?)

she flew next to the window! she flies super fast like rocket!

(i've tried to lose francie a couple times- she can keep up no matter how fast i drive.)

(where is francie right now?)

right here on my finger.

(what happened when francie went down the drain in the
bathtub?)

francie was in the bath and when the plug came up she went
down the drain. we got the fishing
pole to get her out. i yelled,
“francie! come here!”

(we really did have to get a fishing pole to get her out. this fly is a lot of work.)
